Hi all, my wife managed to blow the engine in her Freelander, it's too good to be scrapped and I was looking to replace the engine, unfortunately she has one of those very early ones with a 4 speed manual box and no hill descent control. I have been told that the 2.0 litre Rover unit with engine prefix 20T2N is a straight forward replacement without having to modify engine mounts and no coupling plate needed, is this the case?
Your input will be appreciated.

This is a double post of one in the Freelander section.

Naughty boy.

I know, just wanted to make sure somebody saw it and gave me a helpful answer
